Geo-Caching Cont'd

Wow, went to look for 4 caches today. Foudn 3! not bad!

The kids had a blast, My wife enjoys it, and it gets us all outdoors and moving. This is a great family acitivty. You have to be aware of the elements and things Nature can throw at you.

1st one we found was located at an elementary school it was Mini-Cache, literally. Nothing to trade at this one just initial the paper and replace as foudn. This one was decorated rather cleverly, it was a film canister(35mm) with camo cover and it was suspended in a tree.

2nd one was just off the road and we took a geo-coin placed there by other cachers, we plan on moving it to a new home of perhaps adding to a cache we intend to start.

3rd one was located at an old civil war battle field. not too difficult to find and there was some company there, some very nice neighbor dogs.

4 year olds and a treasure hunt

Well, we went and bought a Garmin Handheld GPS unit to aid us in our geocaching adventures. We printed out several locations for us try our treasure hunting skills.

Our first location turned up dry, maybr it was too old? or has been disturbed? Our second location turned up dry as well although these woods werent as thick and the kids enjoyed the romp throught he woods.

Our last location decribed as "kid friendly" was just that! Located at Starcadia (Minigolg, Go-carts, and an arcade) about ten ffet into the woods and bingo. The kids were pretty stoked. Nathan took forever to decide on what to take and exchange for his "glow in the dark" dino.

We will be doing this more, I look forward to it now. hell i want to start planning some trips around it.
